Note: This was originally published in 2013, before most of you were following. A complex series of minor events brought me back to this post yesterday and I decided to edit and rerun it. When I was growing up, family vacations were to two places and we drove to both. That’s where the similarity ends.... Continue Reading →

I’m Not Wearing That Dress – #1LinerWeds
